	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 153, Davis.  California Holocaust Memorial Week.
   This measure would designate the week of April 30 through May 6,
2000, as California Holocaust Memorial Week, and would urge
Californians to observe these days of remembrance for the victims of
the Holocaust in an appropriate manner.




   WHEREAS, More than 50 years have passed since the tragic events we
now call the Holocaust transpired, in which the dictatorship of Nazi
Germany murdered six million Jews as part of a systematic program of
genocide known as "The Final Solution of the Jewish Question"; and
   WHEREAS, The Holocaust was a tragedy of proportions the world had
never witnessed; and
   WHEREAS, Five million others were also murdered by the Nazis; and
   WHEREAS, We must be reminded of the reality of the Holocaust's
horrors so they will never be repeated; and
   WHEREAS, Each person in California should set aside moments of his
or her time every year to give remembrance to those who lost their
lives in the Holocaust; and
   WHEREAS, The United States Holocaust Memorial Council has
designated the week of April 30 through May 6, 2000, as Holocaust
Memorial Week--Days of Remembrance for Victims of the Holocaust; and
   WHEREAS, May 1, 2000, is Yom HaSho'ah, and has been designated
internationally as a day of remembrance for victims of the Holocaust;
now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the week of April 30 through May 6, 2000, be
proclaimed as California Holocaust Memorial Week, and that
Californians are urged to observe these days of remembrance for
victims of the Holocaust in an appropriate manner; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
